Streamline the metadata capture process and fast track your initiatives!
A fundamental step in becoming a data driven organisation and unleashing the power of your organisation’s data is knowing what data you have!
Metadata is the information about data and it is critical to enable organisations to effectively use, store & manage data effectively.
So why don’t more organisations capture their metadata?
The short answer is… it’s time consuming and expensive to do so.
Nowadays organisations are challenged with the level of complexity in their data solutions. The number of reports, data sources, dashboards and reporting environments can be enormous.
